Roofing Manufacturer to Bring 10 Jobs to Granville County
State Grant Helps CertainTeed Expand in Oxford
RALEIGH – Gov. Bev Perdue today announced that CertainTeed Roofing, a leading North American manufacturer of asphalt roofing products, will build a new rail unloading and storage facility in Granville County. The company plans to create 10 jobs and invest $20 million during the next three years in Oxford. The project was made possible in part by a $30,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund.
“Companies like CertainTeed Roofing want to set up shop in North Carolina because our path to the future is clear,” said Gov. Bev Perdue. “We have invested in education, transportation and infrastructure to build a well-trained workforce and an environment where businesses can thrive. That’s why North Carolina continues to earn top business rankings, such as CNBC recently moving us from 4th place to the No. 3 top state for doing business.”
CertainTeed Roofing is a subsidiary of CertainTeed Corporation, a leading North American manufacturer of interior and exterior building products and is a subsidiary of French-based Saint-Gobain, the world’s largest building materials company. CertainTeed currently employs 503 people in North Carolina, including 266 Roofing employees in Granville County. The company will build a new railcar unloading and storage facility in Oxford that will enable the company to get asphalt from other sources while increasing production of residential asphalt roofing shingles.
Salaries will vary by job function, but the average annual wage for the new jobs will be $63,800 plus benefits. The Granville County average annual wage is $34,112.
“Our thanks to Governor Perdue, the One North Carolina Fund, the town of Oxford and Granville County for assisting us in this valuable project,” says George Wattman, Vice President of Operations for CertainTeed Roofing. “We have been a proud member of the Oxford community for well over 25 years and we have been fortunate to be able to attract quality employees from the local community and Granville County.”
